Jon Toral believes Hull City have proven they can mix it with the best teams in the Championship after draws with Aston Villa and Wolves over Easter.

The midfielder was brought into a much-changed City starting XI on Tuesday night as Nigel Adkins’ side became just the fourth team to hold the league leaders to a draw at Molineux this season.

The two points picked up over Easter ensures the Tigers head into the final six fixtures of the season with a seven-point cushion over the bottom three.

As such, Toral believes the Tigers have shown they are more than capable of pulling off results against teams at the other end of the division, but insists there is some way to go before they can take their foot off the gas in the battle to avoid relegation.
